Review 2025 National Draft Thread | Dovaston #16 / Thredgold #26 / Mikunda #48

[Kangaroos4eva]

All these rumours may be started by Brady, the old sly fox.

 

[New_Roo]

Has anyone said that?

apologies OT not OB, but yes most definitely did, ill let them own it.... clearly said that Oskar Taylor is the best kick

 

[shinboner magic]

He looks slow and small to me in the 80 seconds I've seen on liveleak

Why does it always come down to size with you ?

 

[chubbspeterson]

Lindsay looks like a classy left footer, would be a good get but I wonder if we already have enough def/mids around this height. Is this a need?

It's a fair question, but a fair few of those mid/hbf's are around that same height of 182-183cm.
Josh, Sam Grlj and Oskar Taylor are all 182-183cm. Oskar and Sam more athletic.
We need players who can run and use the ball well, so its not a complete surprise we'd be interested.
The only taller defenders are Thredgold at 194cm (bit of a reach at 11) and Kondogiannis (R2 or R3?) at 190cm.
I suppose you could always put the 2027 R2 on the table to shift up from 26 to grab Thregold, Schubert or Barker, but there's some chance one is there at 26. Might be more likely it's Phillpou, Emmett or Ludowyke.

Ok I wanted dovaston with our pick but (in a shifter Sheahan voice ) the kid from out Geelong way with a cannon for a left foot and reads the play so well - he’s a beauty, north have got a future 200 gamer here.
Josh Lindsay is his name and you’ll be hearing lots about this kid.

Coulson bid on night one? Do they mean night two? That would seem strange to me.
Not sure why we'd want a 180cm mid, I know he works hard both ways, but strange to bid on night one.

 

[Waynesworld]

That's our guy.

And, we've already got one of those in CCJ.

maybe force GC to match one of their academy players early, and then not enough pts for one of the 5 we really want...

Now in a Gerard Whateley voice.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there something wrong with my audio? Both of these sentences sound the same to me.

[Blightys Barrel]

Getting in early. The draft being over 2 nights is ****ing stupid, and needs to be reverted.

Get all the boys in one big room and make it the event it used to be.

It’s like the new Finals round that no one wanted but droopy Dillon put in place anyhow. Anything for more airtime for their Broadcast partners.

 

[King Corey]

Wonder which draftee's former PE teacher will be interviewed in depth while our 1st selection is made off camera?

 

[hilly]

Sam Grjl = The Mixed.

 

[speedy]

Pick 11 – Melbourne: Cam Nairn
Pick 12 – Melbourne: Latrelle Pickett
Pick 13 – Essendon: Lachy Dovaston
Pick 14 – Hawthorn: Sam Grlj
Pick 15 – North Melbourne: Jacob Farrow/Josh Lindsay

?????

 

[King Corey]

Schubert's kicking bit iffy. Is he a late to footy convert?

 

[desie]

Does Ross Lyon have every job at Saint Kilda now?

 

[Topparoo]

Sam Grlj = The George Foreman

 

[speedy]

Schubert's kicking bit iffy. Is he a late to footy convert?

If we pick Schubert, I think it’s best that giantroo doesn’t post any highlight packages.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Aligns with Twomey's mock, but have heard Schubert is likely to be the big slider. Clubs not thrilled with his testing numbers, particularly his jump and speed tests.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Barker basically getting no love. Could he really be there at #26?

 

[sruss]

The knocks on Greeves must be massive as his highlight packages makes him look like a number 1 contender - is he really that bad defensively?

 

[remfan101]

Aligns with Twomey's mock, but have heard Schubert is likely to be the big slider. Clubs not thrilled with his testing numbers, particularly his jump and speed tests.

Also apparently measured at 194, not 198

 

[Krakouer Bonar]

Pick 11 – Melbourne: Cam Nairn
Pick 12 – Melbourne: Latrelle Pickett
Pick 13 – Essendon: Lachy Dovaston
Pick 14 – Hawthorn: Sam Grlj
Pick 15 – North Melbourne: Jacob Farrow/Josh Lindsay

?????

This is our best case scenario. Getting Farrow will make me Krakouer Bonar!!!!
